Moncek on the Move

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Michael Moncek fired 18,000 into the middle from the small blind after the 9A6 flop, and Ludovic Uzan called in the big blind. Moncek watched the 7 hit the turn, and fired a bet of 33,000.

Uzan took some time before announcing all in, and Moncek made the quick call.

Michael Moncek: 77 All in
Ludovic Uzan: A6

Moncek turned a set of sevens, leaving Uzan's two pair in second place. The J river was a blank, and Moncek quickly built up a nice stack.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey

Phil Ivey, one of a couple hundred late registrants, managed to see two hands before getting all of his chips into the pot.

On the first hand, Michael "Texas Mike" Moncek, another of the late arrivals, raised all in and the table folded.

In the next, Ivey raised to 15,000 from the small blind. Dong Chen called to defend from the big.

The flop hit 425 and both players checked. The turn came 4 and Ivey moved all in. Chen quickly called.

Phil Ivey: 88xAll in
Dong Chen: K4

Chen had trip fours, needing only to fade an eight on the river. The A landed last and Ivey was done.

Steve Zolotow

Rokas Asipauskas raised to 9,000 as first to act, and Leonard Maue made the call on the button. Alex Foxen came along in the small blind before Steve Zolotow moved all in for 15,000 in the big blind.

Asipauskas four-bet to 35,000, and Maue announced all in. Foxen folded, and Asipauskas let his hand go.

Steve Zolotow: 99 All in
Leonard Maue: AJ

Zolotow was flipping for his tournament life, and stood up as the 4JQ flop saw Maue take the lead. The 3 turn and 8 river changed nothing, and Zolotow wished the table good luck on his way to the rail.

Faraz Jaka: QQ All in

Hidenari Doubles Through Seidel

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Erik Seidel opened to 6,500 before Tomita Hidenari moved all in on his left. Action folded back around to Seidel, who made the call.

Tomita Hidenari: AQ All in
Erik Seidel: A8

"Natural nine," said Ren Lin watching on at the table after seeing Seidel's hand, while the QJ6 flop left Hidenari further in front.

"No future," Lin told Seidel, as the 3 turn and 4 river confirmed Hidenari's double-up.
